This is serious work - Changing organizations directly impacts peoples lives and livelihoods. It should be done with the utmost respect and care. We recommend consulting with experienced guides to effectively and humanely integrate new ideas into your organization.
These are NOT “Best Practices” - This project aims to foster critical thinking about organizational design. We share a broad spectrum of practices and tradeoffs for their use, including some that have proven harmful or ineffective. Inclusion of a practice in this project is NOT an endorsement of its usage. Our goal is to assist leaders in making informed, thoughtful decisions about organizational design by showing a broad set of options that are practiced in today's organizational landscape.
Practice cultural sensitivity - Be mindful of the cultural context of organizational practices included in this project. Avoid decontextualizing or appropriating practices without understanding their origins and implications.
Accuracy and Integrity Contributors are expected to share well-researched and accurate information. Cite sources wherever possible to maintain the integrity of the information shared. Misinformation, or information that is knowingly false or misleading, is not tolerated.
Inclusivity and Respect This is an environment where diverse perspectives are valued and respected. We encourage contributions that reflect a range of cultural and organizational contexts. Engage in discussions constructively and avoid hostile or derogatory language. Discrimination is strictly prohibited.
Privacy and Consent Respect the privacy of others. Do not share personal information without consent.
